The Range Rover Velar comes with a choice of three different engines. At the bottom of the range is a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged unit making 247 horsepower. Even with the base engine, Land Rover claims the Velar will hit 60 mph in 6.4 seconds, making the Velar pretty quick with this engine. For drivers who need even more power, a 3.0L Supercharged 6-cylinder makes 335 hp, while a more powerful version of this engine makes 395 hp, good for 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The Velar is available in three trims for 2022, though Land Rover offers several specification packs for a few of the trims, giving buyers more choices than what's obvious. The Velar is offered in standard base and R-Dynamic trims.
At its core, the Range Rover Velar comes with 19-inch wheels, LED headlights, heated power folding auto-dimming mirrors with a nifty approach light, 10-way adjustable front seats, a rearview camera and cruise control. The interior includes a 10-inch touchscreen, 12-speaker sound system with Bluetooth and satellite radio, voice activated navigation system, and 2 USB ports.
The P400 R-Dynamic HSE is equipped with 21-inch wheels, heated and ventilated front seats, a 17 speaker sound system, adaptive cruise control, parking sensors and a rear collision warning system.
Safety features across the lineup include an active blind spot warning system, forward collision mitigation, a driver attention alert, traffic sign information, and rear camera.

The Range Rover Velar carries over into 2022 with minimal changes while heated front seats are now standard across the lineup.
The Velar looks like it should cost considerably more than it does. At its low price and with its unique packaging it means it does not have much company. The BMW X4 is about it. While the German automaker has also attempted a similar combination of SUV coupe, the end results aren't nearly as cohesive as the Velar. The Velar does features more interior cargo room and at the end of the day, it looks better.
